The adoption of dual-mode inter-changeable guidance system greatly enhances operational effectiveness and anti-jamming capacity. In terminal stage the missile adopts semi-active radar homing guidance which, under circumstance of strong electronic interference, automatically changes to radio-command guidance.

The FK-3 system implements effective multi-target tracking and interception against saturation attack. One fire unit, equipped with the guidance radar, provides interception against 6 targets with 12 rounds of missile. Multiple fire units, under the control of command and coordination vehicle, expand the multi-target interception to 36 targets with 72 rounds of missile.

The FK-3 weapon system can not only fulfill air defense independently, but also complete missions in cooperation with other air defense systems.

The FK-3 has large kill airspace ranges up to 100 km at an altitude from 50 to 27,000m which super adaptive anti-jamming capacity with several anti-jamming measures.

The missile uses a radio-command and semi-active radar homing composite guidance or whole-course radio-command guidance.

The vehicle launcher unit is equipped with quadruple container-type oblique thermal launch with automatic azimuth servo.
